Car issues are accurately diagnosed & repaired the first time using state-of-the-art equipment. The staff are all well trained & technical professionals who proactively check your car over & make recommendations for maintenance items. My car is washed & cleaned after all visits.
I like the fact that I am always treated like a valuable customer. I can't think of anything to do to improve service; I haven't taken my cars anywhere else for the past 15 years.
What customers say
Took my 8 month old Honda CRV to Frank's because Honda was going to charge me $20 more and with Frank's prices you get a car wash AND scratch off. Dropped my truck off the night before and received it back the following morning after 11. Staff is also easy to work with and very communicative throughout the process. I highly recommend going here!

My father recently moved to an assisted living facility. His truck was due for emission inspection and needed an oil change. His heath has been suffering so was not able to make it to MVC. Frank's was local to get the work done, so we set up an appointment with them. They were very accommodating and kept us informed every step of the way. The work was all done within a few hours.

Frank’s is an A-1 company. The service and courtesy was wonderful. My car was taken in promptly and I was on my way in 15 minutes. I would use them again for any service in a heartbeat. The property and office is very well maintained. It matches with their stellar service. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Everyone is so nice, most knowledable in their craft for all makes and models of vehicles. It is convenient to make appointments, they confirm the day before, take you on time, day of, and arrangements for drop off and pick up are easy! The shop is clean and pleasant. Should you choose to wait while service is being done, there is a park across the street, small shopping area and several eateries in town. They explain everything, follow up with you the next day and even offer a free car wash in the local area! 5 out of 5 star rating! THANK YOU!

Excellent experience at Frank’s Auto Repair. Thomas and the team were great. They were professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. Their customer service was outstanding, and they even gave me a coupon for a free car wash. Highly recommend!

Common questions
How often does my car need a New Jersey inspection?
NJ State Inspections are required every 2 years (new cars don't require an inspection for 5 years). Please bring your driver's license, registration, and insurance card. Note: vehicles must be registered every year.
My car failed its state inspection. Can you fix it?
Yes. We are a NJ licensed emission repair facility, so we are licensed and able to repair your vehicle in order for it to pass inspection. To take a look and give you an estimate on the necessary repair, we will need the failure papers you received at the inspection facility.
